About Me

Viva Mexico!
Viva Mexico!

Mexico is one of my favorite destinations to plan because it is not just one kind of vacation. That is exactly why choosing the right area - and the right resort - matters so much.

Yes, Mexico has beautiful beaches, tacos, tequila, sunshine, and plenty of excellent all-inclusive resorts. But it also has history, culture, incredible food, cenotes, Mayan ruins, whale sharks, deep-sea fishing, charming towns, lively cities, quiet beaches, and resort areas that all feel very different from one another.

Cancun, Costa Mujeres, Riviera Maya, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, Bucerias, Mazatlán, Los Cabos, Huatulco, and Ixtapa are not interchangeable. The right fit depends on what kind of trip you want - relaxing, romantic, family-friendly, adults-only, adventure-filled, easygoing, upscale, or a little bit of everything.

I travel to Mexico regularly and make a point of touring resorts, walking the beaches, checking out the pools, seeing the rooms, and getting a feel for the overall vibe. I want to know what a resort is really like, not just what the brochure says.

With over 10 years of experience, I help Canadian travelers choose Mexico vacations that match their travel style, budget, and expectations. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, anniversary, family trip, multi-generational getaway, adults-only escape, or your annual week in the sun, I’ll help narrow the possibilities and match you with the Mexico vacation that feels like the right fit.

Destination Wedding
Reviewed By Tasha K - Saskatchewan | Traveled to Varadero ~ Cuba ~ Caribbean
Not sure how much room I have to write about not only a fantabulous travel agent but a wonderful lady whom I think soo highly of. Lori you worked sooo hard at communicating with our resort and getting us the information and contacts we needed to have a great wedding. I loved our chats about the wedding and life in general. You made the experience a personal one as if I was planning our wedding with a friend. You just can’t find that anymore in this day and age. I can guarantee everyone who books through you will have an amazing experience as you helped us in soo many ways! Kudos and a huge thumbs up Wanderlori Travel!! You rock and I will forever be booking through you
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Italy Custom Trip
Reviewed By Carrie - Saskatchewan, Canada | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Shout out to Lori of Wanderlori Travel! I made my wish list of where I’d like to go to in Italy and she took care of all of it. Right down to all the excursions I wanted and private drivers and guides. It all went perfect and smoothly and she was there to help with any questions or needs.

Costa Rica
Reviewed By JT - Saskatchewan | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Lori helped my wife and I plan a beautiful trip to Costa Rica. The (brand new) resort we were to stay at wasnt finished on time as promoted , so Lori went above and beyond to set us up (on short notice) with a sister resort. She negotiated a room upgrade (to a Villa) , got us $1000US in resort credits , and made sure that everything was locked in place (with Air Canada and the resort) before we got there. We didn't want unwelcome surprises (others weren't so lucky). She also helped us with information on some excursions. And best of all , set us up with our ENTIRE itinerary with her phone app "Trip Plans". This keeps track of all flights , excursions , vehicle rentals etc. so a person won't forget a thing. Thanks Wanderlori! Looking forward to you booking our next trip soon!

Shout Out to Wanderlori Travel
Reviewed By Connie B - Saskatchewan | Traveled to Las Vegas ~ Nevada ~ USA
Just got back for a 5 day , 4 night stay in Las Vegas and want to give a shout out to Lori. From start to finish our trip was planned so well! The flights were at perfect times for us , allowing total usage of our time in VEGAS. Lori went out of her way to do up a birthday certificate to announce the trip to my daughter (it so is the little extras that set Lori above & apart from other companies). Lori found us the perfect (within our budget) hotel in the middle of the strip. All of Lori's advice and helpful hints were bang on. She even stayed on top of things so far as to send us a reminder list a couple days before the trip & did some aftercare too! Upon our return home we received a welcome home and a 'how was it' kinda email! Never have I had such a personal touch added. I mean she cared how our trip went and wanted to know if she could've done anything to make it better!I highly recommend her company for any of your travel needs big or small she's your gal!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
